Change the Administrator Password

The default password is password. We recommend that you change this password to a
more secure password. You cannot change the administrator login name (admin).
The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and is a mixture of
letters (both uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to
30 characters.
To change the administrator password:

1. Select Maintenance > Password > Change Password.
2. Take one of the following actions:
• Enter a new password twice, once in the New Password field and again in the
Repeat New Password field.
• Next to Restore Default Password, select the Yes radio button to restore the default
password. By default, the No radio button is selected.
3. Click the Apply button to save your settings.
If you restored the default password, the login password is password. If you configured a
new password, write it down in a secure place.

Manage User Accounts

The admin user account is the default user account, which you cannot delete. However, you
can add other user accounts, modify them, and delete them. Users for whom you set up an
account can access the web management interface with read-only or read/write privileges.
Note: Only the administrator can create, change, and delete user accounts.
